VIRTUALLY UNREPORTED ATROCITY IN LUGANSK, 2nd JUNE 2014
A lot has been said about atrocities in the western media claimed to have been perpetrated by the Russians, for example at Bucha and Mariupol among others. These assertions are conveyed on the say so of the Ukrainian authorities. How willing though are western news broadcasters to convey atrocities attributed to the Ukrainians? The following will I think provide the answer.
If anyone wonders if they are receiving accurate coverage of the conflict in Ukraine I would suggest watching the video below of an event which occurred on the 2nd of June 2014 and ask themselves if they recall hearing about it on any mainstream media news channel at the time.
The video is harrowing to watch. The bodies (five women and three men) are real. Yet across western media there was only one single news report that occurred a day later. This was from CNN and occurred only because a CNN team happened to be nearby at the time of the atrocity and so the network could hardly ignore it as all others so obviously did.
The video below shows the unvarnished truth that was not considered newsworthy in western mainstream news.
THE SINGLE WESTERN MSM REPORT ON THE LUGANSK ATROCITY, 3rd JUNE 2014
The video at the CNN link below is the crime scene sanitised by CNN, though played straight with honest reporting on the scene not playing things to Kiev’s tune.
(There was a time early in the war in the Donbass when CNN were not afraid to contradict the Ukrainian regime in Kiev.) Watch because it's the first and last time you will see this.
5 women and 3 men died, all civilians.

Russia Knows Exactly What It Is Fighting For.
Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 21st September 2023:
Poland stops weapons supplies to Ukraine – PM.
One of Kiev’s strongest backers has cut back support amid an ongoing trade dispute.
Poland will no longer provide arms to the Ukrainian military, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has said, adding that Warsaw would instead shift focus to its own security. The decision follows a diplomatic row over Ukrainian grain imports, which were banned in Poland after flooding local markets.
Morawiecki told reporters on Wednesday that the government would halt the weapons shipments, highlighting a growing rift between the two neighbors after more than a year of heavy support from Warsaw.
“We are no longer transferring weapons to Ukraine, because we are now arming Poland with more modern weapons,” Morawiecki said. He later warned that additional trade bans could be imposed on Kiev, given that the “Ukrainian authorities do not understand the degree to which Poland’s farming industry has been destabilized” by foreign imports.
The comments came after Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky appeared to make a thinly veiled jab at Poland during a speech before the UN General Assembly earlier this week, saying that “some [countries] in Europe play out solidarity in a political theater” and are “making a thriller for the grain.”
The trade spat has steadily escalated in recent months. As major Black Sea shipping lanes were closed off due to the conflict with Russia, Ukrainian grain poured into Central and European markets, tanking prices and wreaking havoc for local producers.
The grain glut prompted a formal import ban among five EU members to protect domestic farmers – Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. Though the bloc-wide ban expired last week, Warsaw, Budapest and Bratislava have opted to keep the policy in place on an individual basis, each arguing it is needed to stabilize prices.
Kiev has insisted that the bans are illegal, with Economy Minister Yulia Sviridenko stating that “it is crucially important for us to prove that individual member states cannot ban imports of Ukrainian goods.” The government has since filed lawsuits with the World Trade Organization, seeking to halt the trade restrictions, though Warsaw dismissed the move, saying that a “complaint before the WTO doesn't impress us.”

Poland has been among Ukraine’s most vocal supporters throughout the conflict with Moscow, repeatedly urging other EU members to step up military aid while approving a long line of its own arms shipments. Polish President Andrzej Duda recently urged Kiev to “remember” his country’s status as a logistical hub for weapons deliveries and compared Ukraine to a drowning man, who might drag his rescuers under the water with him.
The decision to stop the flow of weapons comes as Kiev’s summer counteroffensive continues to lag into the fall, with Ukrainian forces struggling to penetrate Russia’s heavy front-line fortifications despite more than a year of Western arms transfers, training and intelligence support.

VICTORY BELONGS TO RUSSIA: IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
Each day that passes makes a conclusive Russian victory in the Donbass and beyond more certain. As Russia bolsters her forces, and weaponry, those of Ukraine decrease. Russian forces gain ready access to rest and recuperation as troop numbers increase. The increasingly exhausted and demoralised Ukrainian troops have an ever decreasing prospect of such respite. This situation is likely to bring them to complete breakdown as Russia unleashes the firepower of the more modern and advanced weaponry that is arriving with the newly mobilised Russian troops.
The various Ukrainian offensives are now weak when confronted by the reinforced Russian lines. A few futile efforts achieve quite miserable results before fire reigns down on the Ukrainian troops and they are forced back to their starting positions.
And now, all this being said, we have arrived at the wet, and later, freezing conditions where these pathetic Ukrainian forces will be subject to myriad forms of abject misery with death and injury all around them while they lie sodden or frozen, abandoned to their fate by Kiev.
The pitiable young and old of Ukraine have been frogmarched to their deaths as cannon-fodder while the bestial elites of the collective West urge their "president" to add more to their number there at the gates of Hell and their doom. We must feel for the majority of them as they are not the Nazis we revile, in most part they are decent men, fathers, sons, brothers, husband and uncles, who no doubt saw through the coup of 2014 for what it was. But sadly, their fate seems sealed.
Nothing will stop Russia now. Every factor favours them. Victory will be Russia's. In Donbass and beyond and in due course across the world.
Victory belongs to Russia: It is now only a matter of time.

WHY DOES VLADIMIR PUTIN USE THE EXPRESSION ‘EMPIRE OF LIES’ TO DESCRIBE THE WEST?
Since February 2007 when Vladimir Putin addressed a conference in Munich which the political elites of the western world attended he has been a marked man. Prior to this speech where Putin explained Russia would not be a slave to western domination he was wined and dined in the West. Up to this time the western leaders clearly considered him to be a malleable who would not stand in the way of western agencies dominating in Russia. His speech in Munich disabused them of this idea.
Since Putin’s Munich speech until the present day Putin has been vilified by western politicians and pundits alike, accused of almost every crime imaginable. The character assassination attempts have poured out, arriving from every political and media quarter in the West and have been very successful. The reputation of Vladimir Putin in the West has been driven well into the negative to such an extent that many believe Putin even outranks the reputation for evil of even Adolf Hitler.
The fact is that Vladimir Putin is an eminently capable and intelligent man who, as regards most people and particularly politicians, is extremely law-abiding, even when there would be advantage to him in deviating from that stance. If you wince and even laugh at this description it only goes to show just how effective the perpetual character-assassination attacks against him have been since 2007. Putin studied law and there are innumerable reports, even among U.S. state department officials, that his reputation for honesty as a bureaucrat working in St Petersburg long before Yeltsin saw him as presidential material, was as the most honest to be found.
Of course Putin is not talking of himself when he calls the collective west the ‘Empire of Lies’. He is talking of the entire approach to Russia and the myriad fabrications and downright lies, deceptions and examples of devious behaviour that Russia has met with over the last several decades. It can be argued with merit that virtually nothing said about Russia over these decades has been truthful. If we take the Minsk Agreements as an example, both Angela Merkel and ex-Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko have both said in recent times that Russia’s attempt through Minsk to find a peaceful path to the Ukrainian problem was set up as a sham, a charade with which to dupe Russia, giving Ukraine time to re-arm.
Minsk in 2015 was followed by the political and media circus surrounding Donald Trump in 2016 and beyond whereby Russia was used as a weapon with which to attack and potentially oust him from office. Ultimately, ‘Russiagate’ as it came to be called, proved to be what the Americans call a ‘Nothingburger’. Every device possible was used to make the fabricated charges stick. The name of Russia was dragged through the mud while that of Vladimir Putin was emphasised and re-emphasised time and time again as a Machiavellian evil influence on almost every aspect of North American life.
More recently, when every attempt by Putin and Russia to find a way to avoid conflict over NATO expansion and Ukrainian attacks on the Russian-speaking civilian population of eastern Ukraine which had been continuous since 2014, a military operation was begun to achieve the goals set by Minsk and further to make NATO give up its ambition to include Ukraine in its alliance. As was the case previously when almost no reporting of Ukrainian shelling of civilians, a daily and nightly occurrence from 2014 to February 2022, western media continued in its 100% bias against Russia. Russia was daily accused of every negative aspect possible regarding an action it has been relentlessly provoked into taking.
One of the most egregious lies told and repeatedly told is that Russia’s action was ‘unprovoked’. Arguably there has never in living memory been a more proved action than Russia’s on February 24th 2022. Putin and Russia had gone every possible extra mile to avoid taking the step it did that day. However, every suggestion made by Putin and Russia was rejected out of hand while western leaders did everything possible to pull the wool over Russian eyes and deny Putin and the Russians any way out but the one that was so reluctantly taken on that day.
Whether the truth first became the first casualty of ‘The War on Terror’ enabling the USA to do things it had rejected as unethical and immoral such as engaging in torture, kidnapping (rendition) and imprisonment without trial (Guantanamo incarceration) and this led inevitably to the broad use of propaganda, psychological and black operations (PsyOps/BlackOps) is a matter only of conjecture. However, when standards of integrity begin to slip there is inevitably a descent into the telling of lies, either via semantic phrases (torture became ‘enhanced interrogation techniques) and kidnapping (rendition) and treatment of prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention ruled out by redefining prisoners as ‘Enemy Combatants’, the slope to ever more lies became unavoidable.
For all the reasons above and the continuing totally one-sided and utterly biased portrayal of the situation in Ukraine perhaps you see now why Putin has used the phrase ‘The Empire of Lies’ to describe the political degeneracy that runs and drives the West down to ever-lower levels of trustworthiness, deception and the kind of distortion of the facts commonly only seen in the most totalitarian of states.
